CNN's Wolf Blitzer speaks with White House Deputy National Security Adviser Tony Blinken about President Obama's plans for the drawdown in Afghanistan, including how to safely end America's longest war and how much the remaining presence will cost Americans.

On CNN’s “The Situation Room,” Blitzer reports that the Israelis were told a meeting isn’t possible because the President’s schedule won’t permit it, even when the Israelis offered to have the Prime Minister come to Washington from New York, where he will be addressing the United Nations.

The White House is pushing back, saying the President and Prime Minister simply won’t be in New York at the same time, but this is the tip of the iceberg in a much bigger disagreement over Iran’s suspected quest for nuclear weapons.
